BEST MEAL EVER. 


Nick and Anna stopped in NH for a night after their trip to RI and brought us La Festa white buffalo chicken pizza. AMAZING!!!!


Also, we decided it was time to open our bottle of KATE THE GREAT. 

For those of you who don't know what Kate the Great is.... A few years ago, Portsmouth Brewery's Russian imperial stout Kate the Great got some crazy beer award, which brought a lot of attention to it. It gets released once a year in March and on our second year there, Ben and his friends went the day after release to get some and were told it had been long gone. So, the next year, they showed up before 6 am on release day and found out that bottles of beer had been sold out for hours based on the length of the line. People were in that line who had driven 12 or so hours to get there and wouldn't get bottles of beer. So, the next year, they had a new system - they sold lottery tickets way ahead of Kate the Great day and we bought 30 tickets at $2 each (the limit per person was 15) and we got one winning ticket that got us the ability to buy one bottle for $15. (Later that day, after 2/3 of a day of work, we went to the restaurant and waited on line for a while to sit and drink a couple glasses of it.) 

Anyway, tonight, we drank our $75 bottle of beer in celebration of Ben's upcoming birthday and Nick and Anna's visit. It was, in fact, great.
